<span style="color: Red;">302 ~ ACCESSION NUMBER</span>
<p><span id="label">Definition:</span> A number that links acquisitions within PeDALS to other records outside the system tracked using another accessioning system. Commonly formed from the elements year, lot, item, and component. (YY:#, YYY/##). The lot element, representing a group of material received in a group, may be a single numerical sequence or may be reset to one each year.</p>
<p><span id="label">Notes:</span> Below the series level, accession numbers may be expanded to include items and components. The item number element, representing each physical distinct piece in the lot, is frequently an option. Component numbers, used to distinguish an intellectually distinct object within an item, such as a photograph within an album, is less often used.
